The vote isn't for another three hours Duuring, that's a Sky News prediction.

Joke, I only own beautiful guns.
AR-15 is sexy, but then again I think the G36 and C7 are beauties as well.  :P

May's government just spend their entire mandate on getting a deal that was just defeated 202-430ish and she actually wants to stay. Really changing the unwritten rules here.

He filed a motion of no confidence, which will be debated and voted upon tomorrow. Then we'll see.

He'll call a no confidence vote, May will win it (already has confirmed DUP backing) and that'll enable her to stay on for a bit longer. Corbyn is a bit thick and this is the kind of dumb move he'd make.

I guess Germans only like weird-looking fish guns that melt after extended use.
Did you know that if you use 100% of your brain, you get godlike powers? true story.
Did you know that if you use 10% of received donations, you can release BCoF by now. true story

Wasn't overheating one of the issues with the AR-15?

It does get hot relatively quickly (usually after the first 30 rounds), but you have to really push the limit for it to become a serious issue, at least from what I’ve seen.

Can you please.... PLEASE not say anything positive about the C7?
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Overheating issues are a bit of a degree away from polymer furniture literally melting.

Edit I am also unaware of any widespread heat problems when the platform was rolled out as an A1

See, a Charleville only overheats when its like 30+ degrees outside and you fire 10 shots.
No polymer that can melt after firing 5k shots because you can't fire 5k shots anyway.
